positive on left and negative on the right corner; negative on the left and positive on the right corner. Terminals can also be both on the long or short side of the battery, or diagonally opposed, or in the middle. Purchasing the wrong configuration may prevent battery cables from reaching the battery terminals.
The Type 3C connector can be provided with a logic-controlled latching system to prevent theft of the cable. In this system, a pin is driven up from below the socket, mating with a matching cutout on the shroud of the plug. This also serves to lock the cover of the socket when not in use, making the system resistant to vandals. [5]: 53
The actual voltage, matching the car battery's voltage, will be approximately 12.5 volts when dormant (less in cold conditions), approximately 14.5 volts when the engine and the alternator/generator are operating (more when cold), and may briefly drop as low as 5–6 volts during engine start due to the high temporary battery current usage.

Illustration of the "reference directions" of the current (), voltage (), and power () variables used in the passive sign convention.If positive current is defined as flowing into the device terminal which is defined to be positive voltage, then positive power (big arrow) given by the equation = represents electric power flowing into the device, and negative power represents power flowing out.
The yellow P+N+E, 4h (120°) plug is a single phase connector that is in widespread use on the British Isles for 110 V building site and fairground applications. A popular model of this socket type is marketed under the brand name MK Commando [12] which leads some users to refer to all IEC 60309 sockets by the generic trademark Commando sockets.
ZIF socket for DIP-28W package A large ZIF socket Zero insertion force connector from a Philips C5-2 ultrasound probe. A PIC microcontroller (wide SOIC-28) in a ZIF socket. Zero insertion force (ZIF) is a type of IC socket or electrical connector that requires very little (but not literally zero) force for insertion. With a ZIF socket, before ...
The polarity for 12 V DC sockets is center pin positive (+), outer collar negative (−). Reversed polarity will damage some electronic devices. Reversed polarity will damage some electronic devices. Although the nominal voltage of a 12 V lead acid battery is 12 V DC , when the engine is running the car's battery charging system will bring the ...
Terminal symbol A terminal strip, to which wires can be soldered. A terminal is the point at which a conductor from a component, device or network comes to an end. [1] Terminal may also refer to an electrical connector at this endpoint, acting as the reusable interface to a conductor and creating a point where external circuits can be connected.
